Sneak peek: The Louisiana issue

Louisiana: Where you can smoke inside, drink all night and gamble everything you’ve got.

We sent our staff to see how much trouble (and adventure) we could get into between the border and Lake Charles. We found everything from casinos to dives to fine cajun cuisine and everything in between.

Larena found some fantastic vintage fashion in downtown Lake Charles, Christina found a little Texas in Vinton and I found a karaoke dive bar in Sulphur named after a Hank Williams song.

Pick up a copy of tomorrow’s Beaumont Enterprise to see our favorite Southwest Louisiana spots and to get a glimpse at what’s happening this weekend in Southeast Texas.
